Wow, I would say that is definitely not expected. I can recreate this on both
of our LFS’s. One is community lustre 2.14, the other is a DDN Exascalar.
Shown below is our community lustre but we also have a 3-segment PFL on our
Exascalar and the behavor is the same there.

See subject. Is it a known issue? Is it expected? Easy to reproduce:
# lfs getstripe .
.
stripe_count: 4 stripe_size: 1048576 pattern: raid0 stripe_offset: -1
# echo > aaa
# echo >> bbb
# lfs getstripe .
.
stripe_count: 4 stripe_size: 1048576 pattern: raid0 stripe_offset: -1
./aaa
lmm_stripe_count: 4
lmm_stripe_size: 1048576
lmm_pattern: raid0
lmm_layout_gen: 0
lmm_stripe_offset: 0
obdidx objid objid group

./bbb
lmm_stripe_count: 1
lmm_stripe_size: 1048576

lmm_layout_gen: 0

As you see, file "bbb" is created with stripe count 1 instead of 4.
Observed in Lustre 2.12.x and Lustre 2.15.4.
Thanks,
Frank
